My grandpa told me once that the best way to maintain perfect dentition for life is to refrain from discussing religion or politics.

My understanding is that DJI's long-standing policy has always limited their warranty coverage to the country where the drone was originally purchased. I gleaned this from a couple of posts earlier in this discussion.

DJI wouldn't disable the Mavic 4 Pro on US soil. They probably support the idea of Americans buying their DJI Pro4 in other countries and flying back home with them, as a walk-around solution to the tarriff war's uncertainty.

Sounds like you have the expertise to construct a battery that will work as a replacement for stock DJI batteries. If you ever get to the point of creating a plug-and-play replacement battery that also offers longer range, I will be one of the first to buy and try that design, given the...

I was going to throw in a few pointers on how to beat the house at the Blackjack table when next you visit "Vegas, but now something tells me you might not take such advice to heart haha. On serious note I have been delighted with my five previously bought Alli Express extra-range battersies...

I am glad to learn from you that Ali Express does have a facility to accommodate customer complaints. I did search the website for a means to communicate with the seller of those two batteries for my Mavic 2 Po that arrived inoperable, and whose combined cost was over $400, but I was unable to...

Ali Express offers non-DJI batteries that feature greater range than the originals. Here is a link to the Phantom 3 batteries that boast of 4980 mAh as opposed to the 4480 mAh of the standard DJI battery for the Phantom 3 Standard. Bear in mind that Ali Express has abysmally poor customer...

Gifted wth the patient and meticulous persistence evident in this procedure you've kindly shared above, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you are a self-made man of considerable net worth.

Haha I must prove my loyalty to Ali Express by taking the pain without complaint, and while lavishing praise on my tormentor.

This was the first time that I was shipped dead batteries from Ali Express, but given that they remain the only game in town for anyone seeking this specific product, I will still order more of those extra-range batteries from the same place, UNLESS some wise and tech-savvy electronics buff...

A couple of months ago, I bought six of those Ali Express steroid batteries for my Mavic 1 Pro, Mavic 2 Pros, and Air 1. For the first time after several such orders in the past, I was shipped TWO dud batteries that NEVER took a single charge, and are now inert paperweights. One is the Mavic 1...

Whoever devised the workaround you described above is a tech genius, Supernial. I had to re-read this procedure a couple of times to acquire a layman's understanding of a delicate surgical process "not to be tried at home". Despite my electronics tech experience in a past life, I've always...

Ha ha that mental image of credit junkies losing control of their cards is funny but true. DJI continues to innovate and improve the capabilities of their drones with each new release, but I share your view that the Mavic 2 Pro checks all the boxes for those of us who aren't in the...

I have bought custom longer-range batteries for my Mavic 1 Pro and Mavic 2 Pro drones, and with those aftermarket batteries, I routinely fly the drones more than 13 miles round trip on Litchi missions. That said, I don't have the expertise to design and create such longer-range batteries by...

I own two Mavic 2 Pros and a Mavic 2 Zoom. Since my corrected eyesight cannot distinguish between the footage shot by my Mavic 2 Pro and my newer Air 3, I still prefer the Mavic 2 Pro because it is directly compatible with Litchi and because it will complete waypoint missions beyond the signal...
